Share this: Well, this was a scary hit. Notre Dame senior wide receiver Torii Hunter Jr. took a hard hit to the head in the end zone during the third quarter of Sunday night’s game at Texas. Hunter Jr., the son of former MLB All-Star Torii Hunter, initially caught the pass, which would have been a go-ahead touchdown, but he dropped the ball after taking the two hard hits. He appeared to go limp afterward, causing concern, but moved his extremities while on the ground and eventually walked off under his own power. He was being evaluated in the locker room when Hunter Sr. and his family joined him there. Hunter Jr. did not return to the game. Hunter Jr. had scored earlier in the

Astra oust West Ham, Osmanlıspor power on
West Ham United's hopes of winning a European trophy in their first season at the London Stadium were ended when they were beaten 1-0 at home by Astra Giurgiu in the UEFA Europa League on Thursday. Held 1-1 in the first leg of their play-off tie in Romania, Slaven Bilić's team fell to a goal just before half-time from Portuguese midfielder Filipe Teixeira and were unable to break down their opponents in the second half, going out 2-1 on aggregate. Tiago Pinto's two goals helped competition debutants Osmanlıspor secure a 3-0 aggregate win against last season's surprise package, Midtjylland.

How Undersized Mookie Betts Has Become One Of MLB’s Best Power Hitters
Share this: The Boston Red Sox’s best power hitter has clubbed home runs at a prolific rate this season. The craziest part? He’s six inches shorter and 50 pounds lighter than David Ortiz. We’re talking, of course, about Mookie Betts, the Red Sox’s All-Star right fielder whose size belies his surprising pop. Standing at just 5-foot-9 and 180 pounds, Betts leads the team with 28 home runs, five of which he’s clubbed in Boston’s last four games. His power numbers through Wednesday — 89 RBIs, .572 slugging percentage, .930 OPS — rank right up there with the game’s biggest sluggers, and he leads MLB with 67 extra-base hits. So, how does a guy who’d blend in at your local grocery store generate as much power
Mookie Betts, Red Sox’s Offense Power Boston To Commanding Win Vs. Twins
It was another hit parade at Fenway Park for the Boston Red Sox on Thursday, and Mookie Betts was a big reason why.

Hanley Ramirez Feels Power Surge Coming After Homer: ‘Get Your Ticket’
BOSTON — Hanley Ramirez’s power may have dipped so far this season, but his confidence certainly hasn’t. The Red Sox first baseman entered Wednesday’s game against the Baltimore Orioles with just four home runs, 35 RBIs and a lackluster .378 slugging percentage, which would be the lowest of his career if the season ended Wednesday afternoon. Fortunately for Ramirez, it didn’t, and he gave those numbers a boost by absolutely crushing a three-run homer over the Green Monster in the third inning to help lift Boston to a 6-4 win. Ramirez’s blast, which came on a slider from Orioles starter Kevin Gausman, was his first homer since May 10. ...

DeMaurice Smith: NFL, Union Working On Deal To End Roger Goodell’s Discipline Power
Roger Goodell’s days as the NFL’s judge, jury and executioner might be numbered. NFL Players Association executive director DeMaurice Smith told The Wall Street Journal on Monday that the league and union are working on a potential deal that would strip the NFL commissioner of his power to decide off-the-field discipline. “We’ve been talking about changes to the personal conduct policy since October and have traded proposals,” Smith told the Journal. “We looked at the league’s proposal for neutral arbitration. There is a common ground for us to get something done.” The NFL, which recently has lost cases against Ray Rice, Adrian ...
